Cannot submit Xcode Archive to Itunes Connect. "Uploading Archive: Sending API Usage to Itunes Connect"

Question

Hello Ive sent a version of my app one week ago through Xcode 6 and it didn't have any problem. Today Ive tried to upload a new version of my App via Xcode and when uploading, the progress bar stays in "Sending API usage to Itunes Connect". It doesn't give me any errors, nor warnings, it just stays like that forever.

Ive been looking in google and also in here, and found a lot of solutions (ones more logical than others). Well, Ive tried ALL those solutions, I've created new provision profiles, restarted my computer, restart Xcode, changed "netinfo", connect to new wifi, among others.

Its really driving me crazy since I didn't do anything, it just stopped working.

There are a lot of question with this same topic on the internet (including StackOverflow) and I think there is no one ultimate answer that really explain why this happen. Ive seen very detailed answers but none of them worked for me.

Some of this questions are:

1) Can't Submit App to App Store: “Sending API Usage to iTunes Connect” either times out or loses connection.

2) Application Loader (Apple) stuck on “Sending API usage to iTunes Connect”.

3) Stuck on “Sending API usage to iTunes Connect”.

If I export the archive into an .ipa I can upload it with application loader. I don't know why I can't do it with Xcode. Ive always used Xcode for this.

The reason I want to know how to do it with Xcode is that I don't know if uploading only the .ipa and configuring in app purchases only directly via itunes connect's webpage without doing it in application loader(the button that says "New In-app Purchases" template) , will also work.

I hope someone could help me.

Thank you.

Answer 1

1. minimise the organiser window

2. reopen it from mac floating menubar

This seems to be refreshing the connection while online. Works for me.

Answer 2

I had this same problem a few minutes ago, let me explain what I did:

1. Restart your router/modem
2. Restart your Mac
3. Set the active scheme in Xcode for iOS Device
4. Make a new archive
5. Validate before submit

These steps work perfectly for me, hope that helps.
